2 different patches. You have already applied the one to disable charging.
The link above is a different one to sort out the voltage ranges.

Those are the values that rockbox displays at full charge, and at almost
fully discharged. I appreciate that the theoretical max is 4.2v, but that
is not what the hardware gets to. Maybe Archos put some limiter in the
hardware to prevent overcharging or something. I repeat - these are
observed values from the hardware, not whitepapers or spec sheets, and are
therefore what a user will see.
